The Lovers on the Bridge (Les amants du Pont-Neuf)

The Lovers on the Bridge is a disturbingly beautiful film.

I saw it back in high school and it really impressed me. Its dark moments and its incredibly light-hearted scenes combined to make a magical piece of cinema. Juliette Binoche is a big part of its charm leading us through a different perspective of the City of Lights.

Set against Paris' oldest bridge, the Pont Neuf, while it was closed for repairs, this film is a love story between two young vagrants.

I haven't seen The Lovers on the Bridge in a long time but the thing about great movies is that it's a pleasure to watch them again...
